He would have a balanced personality - because for true spirituality you must know yourself spiritually and know how to be quiet and listen and ponder before creating, but if you ever have noticed the kinds of things He did in one day - you would see He is very people-oriented as well. It's up to us to strive to achieve that same kind of balance.

Jesus was an introvert. If you ever read your Bible, you see that Jesus interacts with people and then pulls back for some solitude. That is classic introvert behavior.
Not only that - he has a few friends that he hangs around with. Unlike extroverts who have 5 billion friends, Jesus has 12 friends and of those 12 friends, he only has one really really good friend. This is also introverted behavior. Introverts have fewer friendships but the friendships are deeper.
Then of course, you have the 40 days in the desert. That would be the equivalent of solitary confinement in modern society. Extroverts require external social stimulation. They would go bonkers if they had to be isolated for long periods of time. It is torture for them to be alone for prolonged periods of time. Jesus was rational and calm at the end of his 40 days. He wasn't depressed (like an extrovert would be). He had "charged his battery up" to begin his ministry.
And of course - Jesus was a thinker. You look at how he interpreted the OT and he was willing to break laws because he valued substance over show. A key trait of introverts is that they value substance over show. That's why they don't like social chit chat or hypocrisy praying in front of people.
The common misconception is that Jesus was loving and therefore he was an extrovert. No - that is not true. Introverts are just as loving. It's just they need a bit of alone time after social engagements. That's all. But the depth and profoundness that Jesus brought to the table are hallmarks of a true introvert. He was an intellectual radical - that screams introvert. You wouldn't have had the time to think deep thoughts if you were an extrovert because extroverts favor experiences rather than meditating and thinking alone.

Jesus would not be an introvert. I think he is extremely intelligent and a genius. He is more of a scholar. I don't think he would bother himself with petty matters as he had such an important goal to attain. I think if anyone asked him something he would give a profound answer. I don't believe he was an extrovert either. He was humble and respected people.

When Jesus was on the earth, he spent a lot of time among people, teaching, healing, attending weddings and parties, but he also spent a lot of time alone with his Father. So, I guess you would say he was neither introvert nor extrovert.

Doubtful. In the bible he goes around from city to city performing miracles and drawing large crowds. Even to this day, the guy still has many many followers.

You mean - IS - Jesus an introvert?
Well, come on. He seems pretty outgoing and extroverted to me. It seems so obvious to me, but whatever.

I can't picture a loud mouth, but I can't say anything more than that.
